IS THERE A better feeling than arriving home for Christmas from abroad?

Aer Lingus’s Christmas message released this morning shows the airline bringing five excited people back to Ireland this for a surprise family visit.

And things get SO emotional:

*wipes floods of tears away*

The video tells the stories of Nigel, Fintan, Niamh, Tomás and Clare as they arrived home to Ireland from far flung places this Christmas – and none of the families knew they were coming.

Which meant they were pretty shocked, and then there were tears

Aer Lingus Aer Lingus

There were big hugs and a “speechless mammy”

Aer Lingus Aer Lingus

Being home for Christmas is just the best
